Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls

Chapter 110: The Whereabouts of the Diamond (One)

"Miss Silvia, may I ask you to tell us about this Luo Luo that Xiao Liu mentioned? I also know someone by that name," Liu Xing asked with a smile.

Although Liu Xing felt that the Luo Luo mentioned by Xiao Liu was unlikely to be KP Luo Luo, he couldn't help but be curious about the answer.

In the world of the Cthulhu RPG Game, NPCs are usually played by the KP (Keeper). However, NPCs in the Cthulhu RPG Game differ significantly from those in other games. In most games, NPCs have predetermined paths, and even in the most open sandbox games, they merely have more paths. Players cannot truly change the NPCs.

But in the Cthulhu RPG Game, players with freedom of action can indeed alter the "lives" of NPCs. Liu Xing once saw a video on B Station where, mid-game, players persuaded an important NPC to leave the city where the story was set, effectively dropping out of the plot...

By the way, in the Cthulhu RPG Game, any NPC can change the fate of the players, even those who seem like mere passersby. To give an example from the same video, a player interacted with a seemingly insignificant NPC and not only gained a wealth of clues and assistance but also managed to escape a perilous situation and went home to get married...

Therefore, Liu Xing always believed that NPCs are crucial in the Cthulhu RPG Game, especially in the current promotion game, which featured numerous NPCs with weapons and equipment far superior to those of the players. Liu Xing felt it was time to closely align with these NPCs.

Especially the lady in front of him, whose allure seemed to ignite Liu Xing's passion for mature women, her long legs earning his admiration.

"As for Luo Luo, she calls herself Luo Yu. Xiao Liu nicknamed her Luo Luo for convenience. Her real name? I'm not too sure myself. After all, this strange place is a gathering point for all sorts of people. Just in Blood Howl Town alone, there are a hundred or two hundred players, and many prefer to use aliases rather than their real names," Silvia explained with a smile.

Liu Xing nodded, surprised to learn that Blood Howl Town harbored so many NPC players, a fact he hadn't anticipated.

At that moment, Ji Wu, standing beside Liu Xing, asked, "Miss Silvia, may I know why you all gathered in Blood Howl Town?"

"Oh, haven't you received the mission from Aughra yet? That's odd. Aughra's mission should have been assigned to you on the Transport Plane," Silvia replied, puzzled.

Sensing the conversation taking a wrong turn, Liu Xing was about to step in and attempt persuasion when Ai Mei stepped forward. "Miss Silvia, was your mission issued on the Transport Plane? Aughra only mentioned that our mission would be triggered after landing on the Sky Floating Island."

After saying this, Ai Mei immediately contacted KP Luo Luo, "KP, I need to have a quick conversation."

Ai Mei, with a score of 40/80, succeeded.

Thanks to the successful quick conversation, Silvia believed Ai Mei's words and said, "I see. It seems that your mission must be different from mine."

Silvia then shared her story with Liu Xing and his group.

She was drawn into this realm by Nyarlathotep in her sleep two months ago. At that time, three other players, including Luo Yu, were on the same Transport Plane with Silvia. Before parachuting, they received Aughra's mission, which required gathering 10,000 points to leave the place.

Over these two months, Silvia met over twenty companions, but only Xiao Liu, Komatsu, Luo Yu, and Luo Cong survived, and she managed to accumulate 5,000 points herself.

There are three ways to earn points. The first is by killing various mythical creatures on the Sky Floating Island. Different creatures offer different points. The highest points Silvia earned from a single creature were from a Ghoul, which provided only ten points.

The second way to earn points is by accepting various missions in the three-story stone building in Blood Howl Town, such as killing a certain number of monsters or collecting various materials. These missions usually provide points in the hundreds.

The last way to earn points is by eliminating "Wanted Criminals." Players who kill other players become "Wanted Criminals," and anyone who kills a "Wanted Criminal" earns all their points plus an extra reward of 500 points.

Points can be used to redeem various weapons and equipment or to leave this cursed place. The rifle in Silvia's possession was exchanged for 1,000 points.

Most notably, the most expensive item on the exchange list was a diamond worth 2,000 points, with a total of five available.

Liu Xing and his group were surprised to learn so quickly about the whereabouts of the five diamonds in the town area.

However, these five diamonds required 10,000 points to exchange, and according to Silvia, earning these points was not easy. Moreover, Liu Xing's group only had three days in the town area.

"Do you think it's foolish to spend 2,000 points on a diamond that's not very useful?" Silvia asked with a laugh.

Liu Xing just smiled on the surface but sighed inwardly, realizing he was precisely that kind of fool.

"Miss Silvia, from what you're saying, has someone already exchanged for the diamonds?" He Wei suddenly asked. As a company manager, he was particularly sensitive to language nuances.

Silvia nodded and replied with a smile, "Of course, three people have exchanged for diamonds. They're now in Blood Howl Town and are quite influential. After all, in this hellish place, players must stick together for survival. Lone wolves don't last long here."

Then, Ai Mei said, "Uh, Miss Silvia, you might not believe this, but our mission just got triggered. We need to acquire five diamonds to leave this place."
